Download or read book The Coastal Guide of South Africa written by Lynne Matthews and published by Jacana Media. This book was released on 2007 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an extraordinary journey along South Africa’s coastline, this definitive guidebook explores the beauties and hidden secrets of the country’s natural heritage. Stretching for almost 2,000 miles, the country’s southern shoreline contains distinct climates that accommodate an enormously rich and diverse array of birds, mammals, reptiles, marine life, and plants. The west coast plays host to cold, nutrient-rich waters, kelp forests, and low-growing, succulent scrub along the dunes, while on the east and north coasts conditions are more tropical with higher rainfall, warmer waters, greater marine diversity, and tall, dense forests. This handbook outlines the coastline’s biodiversity from dune to ocean, developed in order to offer beach enthusiasts, vacationers, and recreational anglers a simple way to identify the plants and animals most commonly seen or caught along the coast. In addition to background information on tides and habitats, guidelines are also included for The Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative, a consumer guide to making sustainable choices. Detailed and thorough, this overview will create a deeper appreciation of what can be found on this rich and beautiful landscape.

Likewise there are no out-of-date lists of bars and restaurants – in reallity, there are so many to choose from that it would be invidious to list just a few. It is however full of information on places to visit, things to see and do - from sky-diving to whale-watching and much, much more! Contributors include local municipalities and their tourist offices as well as South Africans who actually use this area as part of their playground - so it is full of reliable, useful and authoritative information. This guide doesn’t just cover the well known places but explores the Klein Karoo with its ostrich farms, winelands and Cango Caves as well as other lesser known areas along the route. Altogether it is a great introduction to a truly stupendous travel destination. Each attraction listed includes images and location maps which show clearly which other sights or places are located in the immediate vicinity - together with details on nearest Tube stations and, where appropriate, attraction opening times and dates.All in all, a very worthwhile publication.
